SPARKS CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘EXOTIC CREATURES OF THE DEEP’ WITH INSTORE SIGNING AT BORDERS ISLINGTON!

Pioneering pop siblings Ron and Russell Mael – aka Sparks – will be signing copies of their new album ‘Exotic Creatures Of The Deep’ on Tuesday 20th May at the Islington Borders store, N1 Centre, Angel, London from 5pm* prior to their concert at the Islington Academy as part of the Sparks Spectacular.

Sparks’ 21st studio album will be released on May 19th on the band’s own label Lil’ Beethoven Records. 37 years after their debut LP Sparks once again display their extraordinary ability to create, to challenge, and to confound. Should it be possible for two people to be so fresh, so vital, so unpredictable and so incomparably individual?

The result of a year spent in near-isolation ‘Exotic Creatures Of The Deep’ could, perhaps, be seen as a natural evolution from their last two records on which pop-opera, rock and high drama combined to redefine Sparks’ sound. During these recent times the cognoscenti, those “in the know”, have lauded and applauded Sparks whilst enjoying membership of an exclusive club. However, these remarkably exceptional, and notably catchy, creations look set to be the key that enables many more to, as Sparks have said, ‘come and meet them’.

Sparks will be performing ‘Exotic Creatures Of The Deep’ live in concert at Shepherds Bush Empire on June 13th as the pinnacle of the Sparks Spectacular. Commencing on May 16th at the Islington Academy with a performance of their 1971 album Halfnelson, Sparks will play a record breaking 21 albums in 21 nights, one album each night.
